    Hello lovely ladies! I’m in Tennessee, USA. Alex, I believe your white ceramic pot with the holes is not a pepper shaker, but for moistening clothes when ironing. My mom had one much like it in the 60s. Love you two!❣️

    Discipline ladies, bottles were supposed to be a no no!! But who can resist the small cuties, like you Gail, we love the small bottles. Alex, your green one with the dabber was a beauty. Mr plod and the camel were excellent rewards for a wonderful day out. Those dumps and river banks in Scotland have wonderful and varied treasures. Thanks for all your entertaining efforts.

Although when talking of Harriet's children and family the kids laughing and playing in the background almost gave me a heart attack since I listen with headphones, they just came out of nowhere! 😆

    The yellow object at 17:59 might be the amber mouthpiece of a meerschaum pipe. They were actually made of amber, until synthetics began to replace them. Amber is still used on high-end pipes.

  • @wittnessbe_judged8723

    I love all the finds you found today. I would be in heaven. There's no doubt in my mind, after watching all of your beautiful videos that you share with us all over the country. I have to come to Scotland I would like to look up my heritage.
    I am amazed at how much Scottish, runs through my veins I must have family there. But what I am looking for, is to find a pipe bowl, regardless of its condition. Hopefully, I'll find a clay pipe intact,a plan pipe bowl would be just as lovely.
    Watching your channel. when you made those cute little pipe bowls. I would love to make a pipe bowl with sponge wear, and then after I have found one, I will make it mine. After painting it, I will put it into the kiln. I'm going Flip it, once it is finished, I will tune it on it as it should be, then put a cone incense, in it and watch the stack produce smoke. The tiny little fairy house, will need heat into the tiny fairy house. I will have heat rising out from its chimney.
    I have fallen in love with your channel. I just wish I could buy a pipe bowl with out the stem.
    I look every single day to see if you're selling anything on Etsy. I am looking for just an ordinary
    Clay pipe. Fingers crossed that I get to purchase one from you. There's many sites that are selling them but it is not the same. I need it to be from Gail and Alex
    Clay pipes with nothing on them so I can make my own design. I'm so excited about it my suggestion to the two of you if you have enough room on your farm to have Americans and other people come and stay with you for a few days and you take them out to you treasure hunt, so that they can find what they're looking for. I'd take the trip would be absolutely worth it first thing to come and visit Gail and Alex the two of you have the sweetest bones, maybe that's why you're finding the game pieces to show you that you are sweet all the way down the bones. Do you think that there is a way that I could buy just one bowl just one pipe? Over I have a craft that I cannot wait to make a.m. selfish it is for myself but I will love incense burning to the stacks of the people I'm still excited for the two of you do you have an email account? I need to contact you directly and phone number with the two of you a mother-daughter team, I am overjoyed to see Alex gets so excited with her finds and it is amazing that Gail has just as much excitement as her daughter and one of my hearts would you considering having a room for an American stay with you for only a week and take me out treasure hunting? I am a disabled veteran from the United States Navy and I will save up for this trip. so I have to make this bucket list come true thank you for sharing all of this with us you are the best mother and daughter team I have ever found on CZcams and I am now subscribed to all of the other channels. That should say a lot within itself I would have no bad reviews to give you it's just a plain pipe do you have loads of them I just want one of them to make my magical fairy house. Some of my words may come out wrong because I use voice to text. I have a hard time seeing. I will reread when I write however if it is wrong I hope that you may understand what I'm trying to say. If you could just push me in the right direction to get your email address I have lots to say to you because next year I plan to be fixed and give me an opportunity to go to Scotland thank you for everything you do for us. I just want to find one thing and I have to go to Scotland to find it. Then so be it. I just need a little help could you help me come to Scotland? It is on my bucket list

    hello, and thank you for taking me to the dump with you!
    i am grateful that you included what you did about the horrible cruelty to the working horses of the past. the photo of the lone cart horse earlier in the video spoke volumes to me; it was a most dejected looking creature. Horses are still being worked to death or near death today; draft horses in amish country, race horses who don't win are dumped into unsavory markets, owners of cab horses in new york city have drawn scrutiny in recent years. the ASPCA can't be everywhere however they are marvelous at what they do. i just read that the ASPCA handed out copies of Black Beauty to cab drivers back in the day.

    Hi, Ladies. ( : Gail, w/wire laces, that child's boot would make a delightful planter for your succulents. Your other planters give a whole new meaning to potheads Lol. Alex, your triangular, burst lip bottle most likely held something toxic if consumed, another version of a poison bottle. I've got a slightly smaller version of it. I've got a squarish stopper like yours, on a parfume' bottle from nineteen ten or so. Perhaps a celluloid mouthpiece, Gail? I could see items such as the boot, leather harness strap and a part of the crudely woven basket, in a shadow box w/old book pages or newspaper in the background. Green bottle, my fave.

    My husband and I are from Fort Wayne, Indiana! I’ve never heard of Barkola, it was so fun to see you find something that turned out to be from our home town. Love watching you ladies on your adventures.
